Hi all, *Disclaimer: I'm new to the group and primarily looking for answers about something I don't fully understand. Please let me know if I should be posting this elsewhere.*
Essentially i'm looking to get answers to a stack overflow question <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52553558/how-can-i-stop-chrome-background-updates-killing-my-app>. I have updated and improved the question and even offered a bounty, but no one seems to be able to answer it. In addition I can't find any information in standard documentation about the ActivityManager log regarding `installPackageLI` and it's usage. Some background about the project; it is a live live service game with many daily active users. The game is written in Unity and build across a few platforns. In QA we sometimes get crash reports that look like the one in the SO question, which look like this; 3034 3049 I ActivityManager: Force stopping com.android.chrome appid=10115 user=-1: installPackageLI 3034 3049 I ActivityManager: Killing 963:com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox:search/u0a80 (adj 500): stop com.android.chrome,installPackageLI 3034 3049 W ActivityManager: Scheduling restart of crashed service com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.apps.gsa.shared.util.keepalive.StandaloneKeepAlive$KeepAliveService in 1000ms 3034 3049 W ActivityManager: Scheduling restart of crashed service com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.apps.gsa.nowoverlayservice.DrawerOverlayService in 10999ms 3034 3049 I ActivityManager: Killing 1709:com.my.app/u0a292 (adj 0): stop com.android.chrome,installPackageLI Chrome is updated, which kills out app. That sort of make sense as we have a dependency on it for WebViews used in ad providers. What I don't understand is why it is allow to kill a foreground app, and it seems like that would be something we can mitagate. I'm wondering if someone could explain this process to me (what actually decides to update the Chrome package like this in the first place) and whether we are able to avoid it in anyway. It seems that others have had this problem <https://seap.samsung.com/forum-topic/activitymanager-kills-our-pro-kiosk-mode-app-chrome-update> too, but I cannot find any advise on addressing it. Anything that would increase my knowledge of what is happening here would be great, even if it doesn't directly answer the question of how to avoid this, so please don't be afraid to answe as i'm at a loss otherwise. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
